Once again it sounds like media hype to me: merciless blanket air campaign, object of wiping the Islamic State’s Syrian center of Raqqa off the map, systematically razing the town of 200,000 inhabitants 160km east of Aleppo, When the Russians are done, the town will be a pile of rubble, an intelligence source told DEBKAfile.
Yeah, you probably right ... just because the Russians reduced Grozny, Chechnya systematically to rubble doesn’t mean they could possibly do it again, especially to more muslims. All that Chechnya stuff was likely hype and the photos where doctored WWII photos which in it self was also hype and never happened, like Raqqa .. nothing happening nothing to get excited about ... Obama and his French allies dropping handfuls of munitions here and there, once and a while, are getting the job done the right way. /s
